Tightening the bowel for Piraeus.

Well I foretold a windy night last night after a big feed of cauliflower and my inward parts were certainly all arumble for a while. I even thought things might go up a gear and that diarrhoea might ensue but it didn’t, though I’m not sure which is worse, having diarrhoea or trying to spell it in a spelling competition. Anyway I decided to take one of my little pills this morning before getting on the plane to Athens just in case. Those are the pills that tighten up an errant bowel, and I would always take one right before a long flight. I wish others would too. But I was successfully catapulted to Greece. Dimitrios picked us up at the airport and whisked us down to Piraeus where we’re spending the night in an old fashioned hotel that has real keys to the bedrooms rather than those dreadful key cards that often don’t work. So good to stay in a quirky independent hotel from a bygone age rather than in a bland, characterless hotel that’s part of a slick, impersonal chain Would you take a little pill to tighten up your bowel before a long flight?

I've never gone on a long commercial flight anywhere. I've been up in a single-engine plane with a friend piloting it over our part of Missouri and up in a helicopter for a tour over the Branson, Missouri area when Pretty was 3 or 4 years old. (I didn't enjoy the helicopter ride. The pilot was "entertaining" Pretty by pretending to dump me out several times. She enjoyed hearing me scream in fright... I told the pilot before we lifted off that I was scared of heights so he responded by removing the door on my side of the helicopter. Of course, we were all seat-belted in for the flight but he definitely didn't get a tip and I stopped talking to him after he pretended to dump me out the first time... He followed me around once we landed apologizing but that was too late to make a difference to me. )

@daddyevil That would definitely require a bowel-tightening pill.

@xFiacre I guarantee I was puckering enough without the pill.

I guess I would if I thought it might be necessary. Have a great time away.
